The smell of burning ...

The smell of burning hair is one of the worst smells there is.

Tonight we were doing our job as good Americans and getting ready to throw some beef on the grill. Brian had already fired up the grill and in answer to his wifes request - went out to give it a quick brush cleaning. Lifting the lid and not seeing any flame he automatically reached out and pushed the starter button.

Think ENORMOUS fireball.

And as bad as the smell of burnt hair is (eyebrows, lashes, hair) it is so much better then the smell of burnt flesh, which by all rights should of had us doing more then applying a little aloe.

You may call it luck... But I would like to say "Thank You God!" for protecting my husband tonight.

OUCH!!! Are you wearing calogne to cover the smell or has it subsided by now? :) Glad you are protected, but we may not be able to let this one go by so easily :)
